News about this is already poor but luckily they haven't stooped so low as offering these games as streaming only as they did with Resident Evil 7 in Japan.
As a physical release especially if they released this in Europe, I would have got this (even though I have these games already several times) but now this is a no buy from me.
As already mentioned this release is a bit odd coming off the back of the remake of Resident Evil 2. When is that game coming on the Switch exactly?

Whatever people thought of him at least I knew who he was and that is something I know less about with NOE.

As already mentioned news about these ports are coming soon, I just hope there is a physical release of these games and not just download only. Also I hope it's based on the HD remasters which came out a few years ago rather than the GameCube ports direct. If they add something extra to these games I will get them ie Battle mode for Resident Evil as it was on the Sega Saturn, otherwise I still have them on other systems.

Massive respect to those seven MPs - Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Gavin Shuker and Ann Coffey - who have quit the Labour Party. I thought Remainers would be really pleased. Sure, they may not succeed, but they are putting their country first in accordance with what they believe in.
I'm not too sure what to think of all of this including the news today that three Conservative MP's have defected over to the this new party. This feels a bit like the formation of the SDP (I'm old enough to remember this) except I doubt this will last as long or be remembered so well. Politicians should always put their constituencies first and I don't see this fully here. They are doing what they think is right and of course their constituents will either agree or disagree with them in the ballot box should any by-elections come up.
Still feels a bit like a sideshow to me...

The current UK prime minister has always been a very poor poker player and the EU knows this.
On a side note, any thoughts on the EU's articles 11 and 13 in regards to copyright at all?

The RE2 remake is probably the hardest RE game of any kind that I've played in years. I have had to start it again 4 times. I'm just a bit disappointed that they made Claire's scenario almost like Leon's.
Maybe that will change for the B scenarios. I hope so. But so far, I'm just seeing the same scenes, which is stupid, because Leon and Claire would have went a different route. Right?
Are you playing new game or new game plus?

We voted to enter a Common Market, but there has undoubtedly been a political price, with subsequent treaties forcing ever-closer union.
I don't believe the general electorate ever directly voted on joining the EEC (now EU) although there was a public referendum held in 1975 (just two years after joining) on whether the UK should continue to stay in the EEC or not. It was PM Edward Health that pushed for EEC membership when he was came to power in 1970 and his government stopped short of holding any public referendum on joining. When the EEC became the EU in 1993 that would have been a better time to perhaps have held any vote, that might have stopped this mess that we have now.

Out of all the systems I own the GameCube remains my favourite. It really marked the end of me being a PC gamer and onto a new chapter of console/handheld gaming. I still have a lot of good memories with that system.
I must have well over 200 games for it and the few games I still want to get for the system are quite a bit expensive now. I did look into getting a GCHD Mk II HDMI adapter but it's out of my price bracket and I don't have that many games that support 480p without changing things but it's nice for people who want to get the very best out of their console.

I was originally just planning on going for the one week but you guys have me thinking about two now!
I went to Japan for a week (to Kyoto and Nara) and I recommend going for longer especially when you factor in the flight there and back as Ashley has already said. I went direct from the UK to Japan non stop but if you have to change then that eats up time as well. Hope you have a good time over there!
Even so some basic Japanese is always useful.

Resident Evil 7 did well for Capcom and the remake of Resident Evil 2 from what I've seen looks really good so I don't think the series is dying; far from it in fact. This isn't to say that the series has always been so successful in it's direction, the real question is where does the series go after the remake of Resident Evil 2 comes out. Capcom are already working on Resident Evil 8 so we will have to wait and see.
“We want [Resident Evil 7] to be the start of a new kind of survival horror and of a new series,” says Takeuchi, “We’re already thinking of various plans for the next game, but we also want to see how we can continue to evolve survival-horror itself. In the next few years, technology will continue to advance and what players want may also change but we will always want to create horror experiences where the characters overcome a difficult situation.” Resident Evil 7 Executive Producer Jun Takeuchi

I think the worrying shape of things to come is the community, especially judging by this post
Greedy developers? Really?
If you’re calling out investors then maybe direct your attention to publishers, not the people hard at work making games you love, all while entitled gamers demand they change the ending, or that they give you an extra costume etc.
Games are better than ever,
Cheaper than ever,
and with 10x the scale and budget of back in the day.
The only thing I worry about is dropping retail costs of games and above all, the generally immature side of the gaming community.
I appreciate the response but please bare in mind that this is not my opinion and I did quote YongYea in my original post. When I posted the original comment I was trying to remember YongYea's original quote and I mixed up 'developer' with 'publisher'. This was an genuine and honest mistake and I have now corrected it after seeing the original video. I apologise about this.
Also in my original post I said "If this is the shape of things to come..." so I'm not saying that it is necessarily right now although I worry about a few elements in the gaming industry such as micro-translations, loot boxes... and what will happen in the future.
I rarely post anything about video games and I am certainly not the type of person to complain all the time which I fear you maybe alluding to. Thank you.

Full of deserved people getting pats on the back and being recognised for their contribution to gaming.
The gaming community is full of negativity. Not a week goes by without a crusade or witch hunt against something or someone. Games get review bombed, publishers get harrassed or destroyed in comments. Fans demanding things from devs, or complaining that they don't get something for nothing.
The Game Awards is a rare bit of sunlight, in an otherwise pretty toxic and immature place. And yet you still want to celebrate "the worst" the industry has to offer? Come on
(If you want people giving themselves underserved pats on the back about everything, I'd avoid social media though.)
I agree with you and the comment about worst...was meant as a joke. The gaming industry does have some great things going for it but there are areas to improve. I'm just not a great fan of award shows in general.

Showing my out-of-touchness here, but to hell with it.
What the Dickens does wokest even mean?
Wokest is an informal superlative of the verb 'woke' which is based on the verb 'awake'. Although grammatically incorrect it has been used primarily although not exclusively within the black American English speaking community. It means that someone is aware (they are awake) of current affairs especially social issues.

I don't think we've ever had a group of such incompetent politicians all at once though, it's astonishing.
100% agree.

My faith in politicians from across the political divide is quite low and my faith in decent political debate from the general public (regardless of how they voted and without name calling) is also quite low as well.

I've been playing video games for many years and despite being quite a bit older than most people here I still want to continue playing video games for sometime to come however overall life balance is important. I don't play video games as much as I used to but am worried in part where the industry and games journalism is going.
YongYea said something like (when talking about greedy publishers) "the customers are the cattle, the video games are the milking machines and the real customers are the investors".
If this is the shape of things to come, I have a large backlog of games to complete regardless but it's worrying nevertheless.

As a rule, I don't normally watch any kind of award show. Full of people giving themselves slaps/pats on the back.
Had this award show had the worst game of 2018, most wokest developer of 2018, worst triple A developer.... or been a bit shorter in length, I might have watched it.
I'm not going to watch a lovie award show when the gaming industry needs to sort out poor working conditions with overworked programmers/developers.

"Do you guys not have phones?" Wyatt Cheng (Diablo Immortal - Lead designer)
"...you have two choices: either accept it or don’t buy the game. I’m fine with either..." Patrick Söderlund. (ex EA)
"We have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360." Don Mattick (ex Microsoft)
It's sad to see the gulf between gamers and gaming companies widen over things like this.

I totally agree on the JLPT front, when I was studying Japanese it was really just to make sure that I had a recognised qualification in it.
The GCSE/A-Level is not really to help with any study, I just think it would be funny to add to my current ones so many years later. How did you go about doing the GCSE? Any advice as to how to register and actually make it happen?
It's been a few years since I did the exam but you can find a lot of stuff via the main examining board Edexcel. (https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/japanese-2017.html). Although the exam has changed a bit from when I did it it's still worth having a look at older past papers to judge your level. Search around and you should be able to find them, pm me if needed.
I also contacted them about finding a local examination centre as I was no longer at school and got a list from them. I contacted many places but only got a few replies saying they couldn't help me. At the time I had private 1-2-1 Japanese lessons and my teacher suggested a place in London (IIEL) which takes people on as external candidates. I filled in a form and paid the money for the exam. Later on I went to London twice to take the exam (speaking test was separate from the main test) and a few months later got my results.
This might be useful - http://www.jpf.org.uk/language/exams.php
Lastly if you based out of the UK, the IGCSE in Japanese will be stopped in Nov 2021. - http://www.cambridgeinternational.org/programmes-and-qualifications/cambridge-igcse-japanese-foreign-language-0519/

I've been looking into doing the Japanese GCSE and A-Levels, not because it would be particularly useful, just as a bit of fun. From what I've seen it's a few hundred pounds to enter the exams independently, you just need to find somewhere that will be holding the test you want to take and get booked up for it.
In terms of usefulness, I'd say mileage will vary. You can't go too far wrong with the proper piece of paper if you want to use it in the UK, but may not be applicable everywhere. With Japanese at least, I'd say it's basically meaningless as there is a proper internationally recognized exam (JLPT) which gives the real working level of the language - I'm sure other languages probably have the same thing but I've never looked into it.
That being said, I've found qualifications to be pretty meaningless when it comes to language, I know people who on paper are way better than I am but have trouble actually talking to anyone. I kind of go by if I can talk to someone in the language I must be doing OK.
As someone who has taken both GCSE Japanese and JLPT exams (at level 4/N5) as an independent candidate, I can tell you that the GCSE exam is better if you want to push your Japanese in all skills (speaking, reading, writing, listening and comprehension) at that level. In comparison, I found the JLPT system a bit stiff and limited. It's not an exam that gives you a 'real working level of the language'. It assumes that because they can test your reading, grammar and listening skills that your writing and speaking (which are not tested) will be ok. This 'tries' to address things here - https://www.jlpt.jp/e/about/candolist_speaking.html

After watching The Last Jedi, I don't really mind missing some of this stuff out now (Solo, Kenobi, Yoda, Boba Fett, Jabba the Hut?....films).

I've finally being able to save up and buy a Wii U. I bought Project Zero 5 when it first came out but didn't have enough money to buy the console until now.

I think when Capcom gave Japanese audiences RE7 as a steaming service on the Switch it kinda killed anything else off.
